ACT365 gives users simple but powerful management of access points both locally and remotely. It allows the operator to analyse door status and activate doors from any major web browser or ACT's own App. ACT365 also unifies VMS with access control, enabling users to control cameras from the same platform. The software is allowing Dr Organic to make immediate remote adjustments to a user's privileges including disabling a card after any breach of access protocol even if it is an innocent error.
